List of Birds 



Amazement is frequently shown by the uninitiated when told 

 that at least 150 different kinds of birds may be found in a given 

 locality. After learning even a score or so of those formerly 

 outside of his ken, the young bird student is wont to remark that 

 he never thought that there were so many birds. 



The following list is submitted by Mrs. C. E. Raymond, of 

 Chicago, as having been seen by her during the year 19 14 within 

 20 miles of the city of Chicago. It is an interesting record, and 

 omitting the distinctly aquatic species, might be duplicated in 

 scores of other cities and towns as well as in the country where 

 woods and streams are to be found. 



The birds marked * are found occasionally; those marked t 

 are fairly frequent visitors, while those unmarked are commonly 



seen.
